ok i have looked all over the internet for some info on this coin and even went to my local coin shop and have not been able to come up with any info on it one of my questions is: what are the gradeing standards for this coin "what to look for" and if anyone could give me some ballpark grades and is this coin worthy of being graded and slabed thanks William P. "ki4mjo" PS. the photos do not give this coin any justice...
Its fake. Note the stippling effect in the fields and the overall softness of the portrait. Probably a tourist piece. As such, not worth more than a few bucks.
Here is an example for comparison... http://images.google.com/imgres?img...iian+dollar&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=X
upon futher research I too have decided that it is a fake "oh well" nothing lost thanks again for the help guys
